Billie Faiers is trying for another baby

Billie Faiers is hoping to fall pregnant with her second child this year

Billie Faiers is actively trying for a baby.

The 'Only Way is Essex' star has admitted she and her boyfriend Greg Shepherd are hoping to fall pregnant within the next nine months as they desperately want to give their 20-month-old daughter Nelly a little sibling to play with.

She explained: "We haven't really got a plan set in stone but at some point this year we'll hopefully fall pregnant again ... A big part of me is really glad I've waited a bit because I've really got to enjoy Nelly. There's no denying that being a mum is hard but it's also the best challenge ever."

And the 26-year-old beauty isn't worried about Nelly getting a case of the green-eyed monster when she eventually does get a little brother or sister because Billie has watched how good she is with her four-month-old cousin Paul.

She said: "With baby Paul [the baby of Sam Faiers and Paul Knightley], she's been so good. She's not been jealous or anything, so hopefully she'll be the same when we have another one. She'll be that bit older, so she can be my helper."

Meanwhile, although Billie and Greg, 31 - who got engaged in 2014 - are thinking about expanding their family, one thing they're yet to organise is their wedding.

Speaking to new! magazine, the busty babe said: "We're pretty much set on getting married abroad but we haven't planned anything yet."
